FAQs

How should Paknet Creamy Wash be applied?

You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Paknet Creamy Wash cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.

Should Paknet Creamy Wash be left on overnight?

At the beginning of the treatment, Paknet Creamy Wash is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Paknet Creamy Wash, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.

What should prompt me to discontinue Paknet Creamy Wash?

You should discontinue Paknet Creamy Wash and consult your doctor if you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation.

What precautions should be followed while applying Paknet Creamy Wash?

Use Paknet Creamy Wash only on your skin. Keep it away from areas like your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Paknet Creamy Wash on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Paknet Creamy Wash on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. Paknet Creamy Wash can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Paknet Creamy Wash.
